JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) – Donald Trump has returned to Fox News for the first time since attacking the network’s Megyn Kelly in the wake of her tough questioning of the GOP candidate for president during the party’s first debate.

But he made no mention of her or the debate Tuesday morning.

In a phone interview with “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy, Trump made only passing reference to his brouhaha with the network, saying that they’d “always been friends.”

He also refused to rule out a third-party run once again, saying that be plans to “keep the door open.”

Trump has long said that he wants to run as a Republican, but doesn’t want to rule out the option of a third-party run in case he doesn’t get treated fairly by the Republican Party.
